The Kissing Hand (The Kissing Hand Series)

My grandson loves his Chester CD that came with the book. It turns out that i got it for him the very week they read the book in kindergarden. They read it and he came home and got his very own copy. Worked out well

Wonderful book. Really helped my daughter as she was starting school. My only complaint is that some of the writing uses phrasing that makes reading it out loud a bit strange, I made a few minor edits to the wording to make it roll off the tongue more naturally.

LOVE THIS BOOK! The best for a child/parent connection. At my daughter's baby shower I set books around that I gave to her. Next to this book I had a guestamation jar of Hershey kisses for the guests to guess.

My son started kindergarten last September. He was very nervous about it. A friend of mine recommended this book with stickers to read to him. I read it to him every morning before school and placed the sticker on his hand so if he got sad in school he could look at the sticker and know I was thinking about him. This is a very special book for nervous little kids just starting their school experience. It is a gentle and reassuring book. I plan to take it out again when my youngest child starts kindergarten in 2013.

Beautiful story which should be shared with children of all ages. Every early childhood teacher should rad it to her class at the beginning of school and then make a Kissing Hand project with the kids. I would bake heart cookies as well.
Love the book.

my daughters kindergarten teacher introduced us to this book. They made kissing hand pictures on the second day of kindergarten. She wanted all of the kids to know about the book. It's so cute. She's almost done with Kindergarten but we still give each other kissing hands from time to time.

Fantastic book!!!! I do wish there was a version with a father raccoon, or maybe an ambiguous parent. So many kid's books focus on mothers, that I feel bad for my husband sometimes!

Got this book to read to my child before starting a preschool program, it seemed to help him adjust. The story is sweet too!

Wonderful book for kids with separation anxiety. The books gives a sheet of heart stickers that can be taken by anxious children to school. It helped a lot in my case. I received it from a friend and gifted a new one to someone else.

EXCELLENT book for children who are stressing about going to daycare, school or starting overnights in a divorced household. My daughter and I "refresh" our kissing hand when she goes to her dad's for the weekend and it has tremendously helped her anxiety,

I purchased this book for my daughter when she left for college. I left it under her pillow as we left her dorm room. There were empty pages to write a heartfelt letter, and I went through the book and added comments and memories. She referred to the book frequently her freshman year, and it was a hit with the girls that lived in her dorm.

This book made me cry and my son absolutely loved it. We read it often when school started and he even picks it out to read every now and again. On days when he is sad when I leave him at school, I say "Remember your kissing hand" and he brings his hand to his cheek and it warms my heart. I never write reviews and this one was worth endorsing.

Fantastic book! I read this to my daughter when she was little and I bought one so she can read it to her son only to find out that she cherished the book so much she still has her copy and is already reading it to him. Looks like he now has a copy he can read to his kids.
